The truth is that we have the power inside of us to not only live but to thrive and also find a new, different happiness – one that we value highly because we understand the depth of emotional depression.

So how do we release that power inside?  This is my humble attempt at finding the power within

• Understand that the power lies within you. Your happiness is down to you..not events, not other people, not fate…it is your decision whether you are happy or not.
• Start each day with a positive thought or goal that you want to achieve each day.
• To change behaviour then you need to change your thinking.
• It is only when you are unhappy with being unhappy that you will find the motivation to change.
• Remember life is about personal growth. It is not what happens to you it is how you bounce back from life’s events that matter.
• Set time for reflection. Reflect on what you really want to do, when you feel the happiest, that life is a journey not a destination.
• Finding happiness is not about large, quick fix schemes. It is about making small steps each day.
• Face reality. In facing reality understand you cannot change what has happened only how you respond.

Of course all this sounds easy…and I know it isn’t! However, today think about the power that lies within you, that you are in control of releasing that power….happiness is there for you, waiting until you and your heart is ready.
